# Benefits: Where to enter each type of benefit

Cintra People Payroll handles different types of employer-provided benefit in several places, which can all be accessed when editing the employee.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**: If you are an [outsourced](/docs/in-house-vs-outsourced-payroll) customer and you can’t see the benefit option you need, contact your payroll team.

### Salary and allowances

Benefits processed through payroll (payrolled), such as private medical insurance or critical illness cover, are entered in the **Salary and Allowances** tab against a payrolled benefit payment heading. See [Salary and allowances](/docs/salary-and-allowances).

### Salary sacrifices

Any salary sacrifice schemes, such as pension contributions, cycle to work, or childcare vouchers, are entered in **Benefits** > **Salary sacrifices.** See [Salary sacrifice schemes](/docs/benefits).

### Company vehicles

Company cars and vans are managed as a benefit directly against the employee. These are assigned and managed in the **Benefits** tab > **Company vehicles**. Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax is calculated automatically and feeds straight into payroll. See [Company vehicles](/docs/benefits-company-vehicles).

### Other non-salary sacrifice benefits

Other employer benefits with an optional employee contribution, such as private healthcare membership (employer paid) with additional perks like a sauna (employee paid). These are entered in the **Benefits** tab > **Other benefits**. See [Other benefit schemes](/docs/benefits-net-deduction-schemes).
